Tarp pitching ideas using the bike

Can you show me your tarp pitching ideas using only the bike for support?

Have a small 2m x 1.45m tarp if that makes any difference.

Take a look at Ian Barrington’s blog[/url]

unless you’re a midget, you’ll get wet with a 2m*1.45m tarp…

Depends on the bivy bag 🙂

This worked pretty well.

I find just using to cover the bike up outside the B&B is the most satisfying method

sorry yeah I have an alpkit hunka so the tarp I am really only looking for head and torso and cooking shelter, hence the small tarp

Restless you’ll find some tarp pitching ideas over on the Bear Bones forum. There’s a recent pic of bike/tarp set-up on the classifieds and some other diagrams, etc elsewhere.

Topeak Bikamper = Rubbish

One of the mags had one, may even have been this one…

Ask Mark about the Bikamper, that’s the reason he’s grumpy.

Hypothermic in July :o)

This is a 2m x 1.45m tarp ….

as is this if you find a handy stick and ditch the bike…..

It rained both those nights and I stayed dry ^^^^^

This is a bigger Alpkit Rig7 tarp and a bike and a wall…
